This thread shows a common GNOME-panel issue: removed the Places/menu element and later reported success; noted the panel GUI can recover removed items. For anyone who hits a case where the GUI route does not restore the Places menu (corrupt panel settings, missing plugin, or accidental package removal), the fastest, reliable approaches are (1) back up the panel settings, (2) reset the panel configuration to defaults, and (3) reinstall the panel packages if the plugin itself was removed.

Backup, reset and restart sequence (GNOME 2 / classic panels):

mkdir -p ~/panel-backup && cp -r ~/.gconf/apps/panel ~/panel-backup

gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel
rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel

sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-panel
gnome-panel --replace &

Notes and cautions: backing up is important because the reset will remove custom applets and layout. If the Places entry is absent from the "add" list after a reset, check that the package providing the Places applet is installed (reinstalling gnome-panel usually restores default applets). These steps apply to GNOME 2 / classic panels; newer desktops (GNOME Shell, Unity) use gsettings/dconf and different extensions, so use the appropriate tools for those environments. As observed, the GUI add method is usually enough — the commands above are for stubborn or corrupted cases.

yeah, "add to panel" will retrieve anything you remove, please mark the thread as solved if it is.
